The 2023 Inama Carmenere Più Veneto Rosso is a vibrant and distinctive Italian red from the volcanic soils of Veneto, showcasing Inama’s pioneering work with Carmenere in the Colli Berici region. Crafted predominantly from Carmenere with a touch of Merlot, the nose is intensely aromatic with dark berries, blackberry and black cherry layered with cocoa, black pepper, violets and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy dark fruit flavours, fresh acidity and soft, fine-grained tannins. Notes of plum, spice and subtle earthy complexity are balanced by vibrant freshness and a smooth, elegant finish. The style is polished, energetic and highly food-friendly, offering richness without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic alternative for customers who enjoy the spice and texture of Cabernet Franc or cool-climate Shiraz but want something uniquely Italian and approachable. Perfect with charcuterie, pasta, grilled pork, mushroom dishes or casual Italian dining. Enjoy now or over the next 5–8 years.
